North Bend Central Never Slows Down in Win Over Raymond Central

NORTH BEND – A relentless attack on both sides of the ball led North Bend Central to a season-high output offensively, never trailing in a 91-56 win over Raymond Central on Monday.

The Tigers’ fast break attacked proved to be too much for the Mustangs, with many of North Bend Central’s points coming off the 26 turnovers they forced.

The end of the first half was emblematic of North Bend Central’s ability to score almost seemingly at will. Junior Tanner Wietfeld finished a fast break that made the score 42-21. He then stole the inbound, and after a pass inside and back out, hit a three-pointer just before the buzzer sounded, scoring five of his first-half 21 points over a span of about six seconds. Wietfeld finished with 31 points.

The Tigers have now won four in a row, and wrap up their regular season at home Friday against Fort Calhoun. Raymond Central will try to end their 14-game losing streak at home Friday against Schuyler.
